I am new to the whole overclocking thing, so i need some help with these questions:
What settings should i change in the bios?
There is a setting for: Cpu ratio, ring ratio and base clock, i've heard that you should change base clock and not cpu ratio, is this true?
How do i know if i overclocked my cpu too much?
I know you have to monitor temperature, but is there anything else?
I tried overclocking the cpu to 4,5 ghz by changing cpu ratio and then stress testing it with cpu-z, all other programs froze, but cpu-z kept running, is this normal or it that because i overclocked it too much?
Power should not be a problem the cpu is running on its own 12v rail with 35a.
Do you have any suggestions for a good temp monitoring program?
